I disagree on that. Pace would fully be to blame/praise for the Watson-Trubisky debate. QB was his complete focus for this team, it didn't matter what other teams thought. And for that matter, Watson was drafted 12th overall, so you can't say team after team passed on him. It's not like he dropped to the 2nd or 3rd round.
Watson was obviously a top pick at the QB position, and Pace chose otherwise. That's on Pace, for good or bad.
And two first round picks were used on him. You don't use your first round pick and the next year's first round pick to move up for a QB you don't think will be great.
